Putting an exclude it in a specific .repo file or inside a "[repo-name]" block excludes those RPMs _from that repo only_. The openvpn update most likely came from the fedora-updates repo and your exclude wouldn't have applied. I think what you really want to do is put the excludes in the /etc/dnf/dnf.conf file in the "[main]" section. That way the exclude works on ALL repos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Charter Member of the American Society of Curmudgeons - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
